Mr Lion Please Divorce Me - Chapter 29
In early morning, LiMingHu got awake first, and he noticed that he was drunk and ended slept on TianTian’s bed…with TianTian slept beside him. Despite of his hangover pain, it was surprising him happily to see the sleeping face of TianTian… so he back to lay down and kept watching TianTian sleeping, his hand started to held TianTian’s hand and the other hand began to explore TianTian’s face, he touched her eyes, nose and lips softly… and he slowly closed his face to kiss TianTian’s forehead but before he successed.
TianTian opened her eyes and caught him in the act, but TianTian didn’t move away from him, which was a good sign for the beast to continue his act, he kissed TianTian’s forehead, and smiled to her nervously,
“Morning…”
TianTian actually not fully awake yet, it was the kiss that finally awake her fully, she startled and rose her body from the bed so did LiMingHu…
“You…you already awake ..so…you can back to your room…” TianTian felt nervous suddenly, she covered her nervousness with demanding him in high tone, but she didn’t actually upset…and the King knew it… in fact, he now had remembered what happened during his drunk time, which made him felt shy for showing his weak side in front of this woman.
“Ah…Ahah up…You’re right…I return to my room now…” LiMingHu stood up from the bed and walked stiffly out of the room. Before he went out, he turned,
“If you are ready, come down immediately…to have breakfast” he commanded and then he went out.
Strangely, in this morning…the usual arrogant commanding tone of LiMingHu didn’t upset TianTian anymore… she even could see and understand that LiMingHu actually also felt nervous like her…after what she heard last night, the explanation, the confession… it almost like a dream, but TianTian knew it was real,…and now she began to look LiMingHu in different way… it didn’t mean that she was no longer upset about ShuShu…. it just she might can understand the circumstances, ShuShu had saved his life, so he repaid with the promise….it made her understand that LiMingHu was not a bastard like she thought, but a responsible man who care about people that close to him. And LiMingHu’s feeling about her…
‘I need you….TianTian..’ Those words pretty much like a confession for TianTian… LiMingHu might be really like her…
But still, she wondered could she allowed to keep liking the beast while there was another pity woman who wait to wake up and dreamed to be the king’s wife? Are they allowed to be together? She was not sure she could do it.
While in the dinner room, LiMingHu still sitting nervous, waiting for TianTian went down to there. Aunt Ma and others was preparing the food. Some servants had gossiping what possible happened last night, as they knew their Master slept all night in Miss TianTian’s room again…. they assumed Miss TianTian had officially became the Madam of the house, Aunt Ma scolded them back to work, but she also smiled to see the expression of her Young Master was better than yesterday.
While waiting, a call from the whitefox, YuFang came… LiMingHu answered it, but before he said anything, YuFang had swarmed him with many questions…
“Where were you yesterday? I tried to reach you….I heard about the attack, are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?” Despise of his coolness appearance, YuFang always easily panic if hearing anything happened to LiMingHu, maybe because what they had in the past…for many times YuFang had to drag wounded LiMingHu’s body to the hospital…and then YuFang need to scold him a little bit after that…. it was when they were in triads, but still old habit never dies.
“I am fine…any progress about the attack?”
“I have check their background…it seemed they just be paid by someone to attack you purposely… but I still trying to figure out who is behind them…any thought?”
“From the way they fought, they are not from the same group we used joined…so It’s not the old enemy….maybe someone that closer to us…someone inside…I have some suspects….later I send to you the names, try to check what had been they do lately…see if there is any connection.”
“Okay…then will you back to office today? We have some important meetings that can’t be delayed…”
At the same time, TianTian was going down and approached the dinner table, she sat silently, tried not to disturb the calling…LiMingHu just glanced to her before he replied to YuFang,
“….Because of my wounds, I think I will not go to office for several days ahead…you can represent me in any meetings and you can send me the updates with any reports I need to read about…And take a note, I don’t want to be disturbed for couple of days ahead…”
“What??? But the meetings…*click” The calling was disconnected by the King.
YuFang in the office, just could stared his smartphone and then spontaneously throw out his upset mind,
“Are you kidding??!!! You said it was not serious injury but still want to have some days take-off ???!!! You purposely wanted to make me suffer Huhhh…aahh, so many meetings and work papers…I can work overtime again…hik hik…”
When he realized some employees stared oddly to him…. YuFang tried to control himself to calm again…
“Ehm…nothing to see…back to work…”
In his mind, he also curious about the reason His Boss wanted to stay at home instead working at office…
‘Its weird…Before, he just goes home to sleep or eat..the most time of his life, he preferred spending his time working than stay at home….hm…is it because of that little rabbit? I wonder….’
TianTian stared confusedly to LiMingHu who disconnected the calling.
“You…don’t go to work today?” she asked carefully. She diverted her eyes to the food that be served by Aunt Ma and the servants, tried not to look at LiMingHu’s eyes directly.
“Yes” LiMingHu also did the same, he began to focus eating the food.
“Oh” Short reply from TianTian and then they stopped talk and just focus to eat… This odd view made the servants thought that they were fighting last night… but TianTian and LiMingHu didn’t feel odd at all, on the contrary, they felt comfort to just eat and not talking… they enjoyed the moment. For many times, LiMingHu glanced to TianTian and so did her. They paid full attention to every moves of each other, like how LiMingHu moves the spoon and fork…strangely TianTian caught that LiMingHu was so elegant and handsome while eating…she didn’t notice it before.
In other side, LiMingHu seems recording what he saw, how TianTian liked to roll the noodle with her fork before she ate it, or how she moved the last piece of honey chicken meat that she like most, and then ate it for the last. At the end, TianTian would drink a lot of warm water at once then ask for the refill once more time until she was really done drinking. Actually he always noticed these eating habits of TianTian before and now…Those were cute acts in LiMingHu’s eyes anyway.
But now the dishes already be taken up and the table was clean, the breakfast was done, still none of them rose from their seats, they were llike waiting for who first to stand.
‘He doesn’t go to work today…and from the call just now…it seems he plans to stay at home for several days…what is his plan?’ TianTian wanted to ask, but she didn’t know how to start…
‘She is different today, it is like she starting to be more kind and friendly to me…even more… does she start to like me? Doesn’t she… But either of them, I still have to let her go…maybe not rally have to be now…maybe after couple of days later…I really don’t want to…’
“I…”
“I…”
Finally they opened their mouth at the same time, what a perfect timing…but then TianTian let the King to say first…
“I know you never like to stay here any longer…so…I decided to free you from our deal…”
TianTian surprised, the deal about being his woman for three months… how long was the time already passed? She forgot to track the time because of all events that happened lately… it maybe already 2 months since the deal…
“But…it still have 1 more month…” TianTian suddenly felt shy when she found out she actually didn’t want the deal to be off too quickly.
The beast noticed it, he smirked teasing her,
“So..you really want to be my woman like in the deal…or to be my private servant??”
“No!…I mean…I glad if you want to cancel the deal…I am really happy that I can go home now…!!” TianTian rose with upset..
“Wait….I am not finish…” TianTian sat again… “Like you said, there is actually still one month left…”
“So…?”
“This time, I don’t want to force you…but can I ask you to stay with me for just 1 month…? Its okay if you cannot like me…I won’t force you to, just accompany me for 1 month and then you free to leave me, leave this place and return to your home…” LiMingHu stared to her deeply…there was no lie in his eyes…he was being serious…
‘….Just for 1 month…to be with him? Actually without being asked, I really willing to be with Him…but if only 1 month, will I not fallen on him too deeply later?…Can I still forget about him later and make all those 1 month memories just as my treasure… atthen he will back to his promise with ShuShu, I also will return to who I am before? … in just one month…it seems still too long but also… too short…’ TianTian thought deeply about how she felt right now…but the silence from TianTian made the King nervous and discouraged.
“You really can’t give me your time, even just for 1 month? Then how about 3 weeks…” Still silence….
LiMingHu sighed…maybe he was wrong to think that TianTian could like him after what he did to her…he was too boastful…
“…2 weeks?” It was the last offer…if not maybe 1 week or even if only 1 day, he would happy if TianTian willing to be with him, not by forced to…
“Deal…” Suddenly there was a responds… and it surprised LiMingHu…
“2 weeks….I agree to stay for that long…”
TianTian still flushed to answer it, because that means she admitted that she had a bit of like feeling toward the beast after all….
And the beast realized it clearly, which made LiMingHu so happy and smiled widely to her… TianTian also smiled back to him…
“Then…what should we do in these 2 weeks?” TianTian felt nervous again, remembering what thing that the beast always tried to do in the first deal… taking her virginity…if he still wanted to do it now…she would regretted to agreed this new deal…
“I won’t make you feeling not comfort anymore…this time you can decide what should we do in this 2 weeks. I promise to do anything that you like, TianTian…” LiMingHu didn’t want to be selfish anymore…although he really wanted to touch TianTian so much…he restrained himself until TianTian willing to be touched.
TianTian didn’t expect that kind of answer from the beast… she felt being respected this time, and it made her so happy, she immediately tried to think what activities she could do with the king, but when she saw the dry wounds on LiMingHu’s lip, she decided,
“Then… we need to take care of your wounds first”
